Great Link, Thanks.

Has anybody read up on the Kerbango? I found an early marketing release
on it and it had a retail list of $299.95. Looks like it went from
start-up to 80 Million Dollar take-over by 3Com to never selling a
single unit in 3 years. I wonder if somebody at 3Com got fired over
this boondoggle.

-"Update: An unnamed source within 3Com acknowledged that multiple
possibilities for continuing the Kerbango product line outside of 3Com
are being considered, and that the first production build of Kerbango
Internet Radios have already been produced and are currently being
warehoused.'-
>From Linux Devices News

Can you image paying 80 million dollars for a company, running the
first full production run of Kerbango's, then storing them in a
warehouse never to sell them. That is throwing good money after bad,
after bad, after bad.

Wonder if anybody ever bought a warehouse full of Kerbango's at 5 cents
on the dollar? Still can't find if any were ever sold.
